Hagstrom Ultra Max Black Satin

This is my first electric. I wanted something that by looking at it made me want to play. So, it was this one or a ESP LTD.

The ESP was not available, while this one was ready to be shipped... I spent the next 2 days scouring the internet for reviews and sound tests.

Then I took the plunge and I am glad I did!

PROS:
- the look
- the sound
- that sweet sustain
- how it handles

CONS:
- the damn tune pot. The tune pot cover is like they forgot to finish it and put it on anyway. It's a bit wobbly, does not sit well on top of the actual pot. I tried to unscrew it, adjust it but it is still slightly off. The other pots came also a bit off, but I was able to adjust them.

I like the guitar, it makes me smile. The pot... I will kill it one day.
